SAN DIEGO PARTY GUIDE – HALLOWEEN 2011 EDITION!

The best holiday of the year is rapidly approaching. It’s the time of the year to dress up like an idiot (I’ll be rocking the giant hotdog), an unholy hell spawn, or a prostitute. We’re created a list of the best parties and shows in SD to hit up this most memorable weekend of debauchery. You’d better start preparing now: work on your cardio, get the kinks out of your new dance moves, and toughen up that liver. We’re getting all sorts crazy!

FRIDAY// October 28th

I’ve never been so STOKED to see Deadmau5 as I am now. His new stage scrambles the brains of all those whom it encounters. I WANT TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! Yadderamean?! The psychedelic time machine operated by a mouse…[excuse me] Mau5…takes a life of its own as it walks you down shroomy-lane. How often does a musical mastermind and mind-blowing spectacle come in this sort of package?

OH! And I almost forgot…Freaking FEED ME of Deadmau5’s Mau5trap label will be dropping F(ilth) bombs on Petco Park. I could not think of someone better to set the stage for the absolute madness Deadmau5 will be bringing. My life is not yet complete without seeing FEED ME throw down live; but after his Oct. 28th set, I will be able to die a happy man.

To complete this massive triple headliner, Avicii—that’s right…A-muh fuggin-vicii!!!!—will soothe our mind, body and soul of the insanity brought by the Mau5trap crew. I was able to catch Avicii’s set at Insomniac’s Nocturnal a couple weeks ago and it was nothing short of spectacular.

BONUS!! Ticket prices for the show have been dropped immensely to just $50 for GA tickets and $150 for VIP!!!

SATURDAY// October 29th

Perhaps the sweetest treat of your Halloween weekend comes in pill form. Sugarpill, master of welding straight sexy with gangsta ishness, constantly lifts the West Coast Bass Movement to new heights. This LA native is touching down in SD Oct. 29th for what is about to be one of the nastiest performances of the year. To see this guy for a pre-sale ticket price of $10 is absolute madness. And get this…If you get SUBversive’s 4 ticket package, the price break gets you or one of your friends in for FREE! Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming posts about this event. Shit’s about to get wiiiiillllldd.

The 11thAnnual Dos Equis XX Monster Bash is taking over downtown with 3 stages and 10 bars. Hypercrush, DJ Vice, and the headliner we’re most excited about, the creator and the father of moombahton, DAVE NADA(!!!) are going to be headlining with many other local fav DJs taking the stage. With thousands of inebriated costume-wearing party goers, what’s not to like? If you’re one of the many of us that like to go all out for Halloween, then you’ll love the $3000 cash prize for the costume competition. Must be at least 21 to party and tickets start at $30. Small price to pay for a night full of drunken debauchery.

MONDAY// October 31st

If you’re still alive after the weekend and still looking to party on Halloween night and you find yourself still in Downtown, definitely cruise down to our favorite hipster hang El Dorado. They’re hosting Disco Bloodbath which is going to be an orgy of local talent. You won’t break the bank going to this party since there is no cover charge and cheap (yet deceptively powerful) drinks all night.

RSVP HERE.

The North Park hipster headquarter U-31 is having a their own show on Halloween with Saul Q and resident DJ Colour Vision. If you’re looking for a laid back vibe with none of the Downtown-centric depravity then I highly recommend this top-notch indie dance party for an undoubtedly good time. The best part: 91 CENT DRINKS ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!

The double headliner of Minnesota and Vokab Kompany will be bringing the heat to one of San Diego’s finest Halloween night shows— HalloWeird. From complete opposite sides of the musical spectrum, these two will make the crowd groove and go completely bonkers. Minnesota, a personal favorite, had bass and unearthly synths coursing through my body for days after his monster set at Abstract Festival. The Keating Hotel has yet to see and, frankly, feel something this massive. I couldn’t think of a better way to top off an out-of-this-world Halloween weekend.
